    Kovalev breaks Canelo's face (assuming he's not weight-drained, but maybe even then...)

    Maybe at 173 since Kovalev often weighs in at 174, but anything below that would be a death sentence to him.

    If Kovalev isn't drained he will rip Canelo to shreds and that's an honest assessment. Kovalev seems taller than his listed height (looks 6'1) and has a heavier jab than Triple G. Sends heads flying with ease with his jabs and looked like he even had Eleider hurt a few times with his jab. Also rocked Ward with a jab.

    The LHW limit isnt far off of Kovalev's walking around weight, ive heard he walks around at 180ish, so he could easily make a catchweight. I think he destroys Canelo, and bad.

    No. It's more like 200+.

    Good big guy beats good little guy. Size is and always will be relative at a certain level

    Canelo will drain him no doubt in my mind. No way does canelo fighting him at full 175

    Canelo shouldn't have to anything. If he wants to come in at 168 for a LHW fight, that is his prerogative. I would agree that if its for a championship fight then Kovalev should not have any restrictions regarding the weight limit.

    I only saw GGG buzz Canelo for like 3 seconds in the rematch, Jacobs didn't hurt him.

    I think Kovalev would be the clear and obvious favorite, but I definitely wouldn't count out Canelo completely. Krusha don't like it to the body.

    Precisely

    The same people who said Canelo would never fight: (pick any top fighters in Canelo's resume) are here saying the same thing over again like broken records. lol
